The Splendid Sampler™: Block 20 -a work in progress!-

Block 20 for The Splendid Sampler™has a huge workload of embroidery; I was planning to do it in two or three afternoons, but it has turned a bit of a challenge. I was committed to do the blocks “as it is”, but in this case I have to make an exception: if I am to stick to the instructions it will result totally outside the colour scheme I’m keeping for the sampler. So I still have to decide my own colour scheme for this one, meanwhile, I’m sewing the parts I’m sure what colour to use.

Furthermore, it’s a wonderful block to just sit, relax, and enjoy the process just for what it is. So I’m keeping this block as a work-in-progress, enjoy stitching it slowly, and move towards block 21.
